Hamsters over Millburn Mustangs. By Wednesday last week, it became evident that I was pretty much screwed. I had too many players on my roster who had bye-weeks and had three starters who did not have bye-weeks but were questionable from an injury perspective. So while I could put a bunch of players on waivers and hope that they weren't claimed by other teams, I decided just to take a whipping and left two starting spots unmanned. So the Hamsters kicked our tails. It would've happened anyway, given monster games by Randy Moss and DeAngelo Williams. In short, Coach Cheng just took me to the back of the woodshed, whipped off his belt and... eh, let's just move on, shall we?
ANSKY over Beginner's Luck? Coach Lee's ANSKY gets back to its winning ways with a solid win over Coach Kwon's squad, buoyed by Drew Brees' spanking of the Giants and a strong game by WR Larry Fitzgerald. It's been a tough beginning of the week for Coach Kwon. In a sideline interview on Sunday night, Coach Kwon lamented that Joe Torre left Hiroki Kuroda in the game too long, before realizing that he was being asked about his fantasy football team. On Monday night, when asked studio analyst Terry Bradshaw about why he started ineligible WR Matt Jones, Coach Kwon (in a near catatonic state) could only mumble something unintelligible about Jimmy Rollins.
Pablo over Midgets. Coach Huang's Pablo took out Coach Kang's Midget's behind the strength of a Ravens loss where they scored 31 points against the Vikings, giving Joe Flacco and Ray Rice some nice numbers. As for Coach Kang, we salute you, as you diligently set your roster and you obviously did what you could. It's not your fault that your players stunk. Coach Huang is also leading the category of "don't get to comfortable here, son" as he's picked up and waived a frightening number of players. Apparently, people don't join the Pablo squad for job stability. Heck, even Tom Brady got traded from that team.
Punch in the Face over Cooler than Baptists. Coach Lee's 'Face cruised against a Cooler than Baptists squad. Let's put it this way, when you have three players (Tom Brady, Hines Ward and Thomas Jones) that combine for 100 points, you're not going to lose many games. It's not as if Coach Fehringer put together a bad squad this week - the 1985 Chicago Bears couldn't have stopped the Laser Jets this week given Tom Brady's performance. And to echo a post that's going around in the Emmanuel Classic league, why is it that opposing teams curl up and die against Coach Lee's Punch in the Face? Is it the intimidating firepower by an offense which is relentless? Or is it a left-wing conspiracy? FOXNews. We report. You decide.
Don't Tread on Me over HE HATE ME. Give Coach Cummings and his squad their due, but hmm... Coach Song just doesn't seem to have the same brainpower in the front office since philthypanda left town in a contract dispute. Of course, we know that panda didn't leave in a contract dispute, but it could've been worse, like an ugly divorce or a situation where the head coach punched out another coach.
Trail Mix over Team Singletary. Okay, my Mustangs got their butt kicked, but Team Singletary got stomped in historical fashion 100 - 0. How much do you think the Millburn Mustangs, Beginner's Luck? and every other team that lost would've loved to have drawn Team Singletary this past week? Well, we called it before, and knew that the bye weeks were going to be problematic with these gimmick teams.
No Yankees over Go Yankees. In the battle of teams that have emotional ties with the Yankees one way or the other. Coach Tae's No Yankees beat Coach Beenken's Go Yankees despite a poor Giants performance but aided by poor performances by Coach Beenken's receivers (T.J. Houshmandzadeh, 3.40; Steve Smith, 0.40; Bo Scaife, 0.00). As for the Yankees, as irked as Coach Kwon is about his Dodgers, what's with all the over-managing by Joe Girardi in Game 3? David Robertson gets two quick outs in the 11th, and he turns it over to another right-handed reliever who promptly gives up the game. Sorry - back to football...
